1970 Plymouth Roadrunner on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:400
Location:

Fresno, California, United States

Fresno, California, United States

It has a strong running 383 that was rebuilt roughly 360 miles ago. The speedometer shows 352 and actual miles of the car is unknown.The 4 speed transmission was also rebuilt at this time. I was going to build a pro touring restomod type car but life has other plans. The paint is a gorgeous black with orange stripes and no expense spared. People love to look and ask questions everywhere i go in it. This is a mans car with manual  drum brakes, no power steering, and a manual transmission. If you are looking for a smooth, quiet, refined car... go buy a new cadillac. The interior needs finishing although most of the parts come with it. I do not have the carpet or headliner. I do have the old headliner and rods for a new one to be installed. I do not have the armrests. It needs a windshield wiper motor also along with a few other bits and pieces. This car is going to be awesome when finished. It has some issues like any 44 year old car would. There is a spot of surface rust behind the front seat (not body rot) that i took a picture of. There is a small leak where the speedometer cable goes into the trans. (Its an aftermarket speedometer. Go figure) Easy fix there. The wiring underneath the dash could use some cleaning and buttoning up. Carb needs fine tuning. This car is a solid california car and it shows. I have tons of reciepts for this car. It is non numbers matching and originally green. It is however a factory 383 4 bbl 4 speed car. The brakes have been done all the way around. The suspension has been gone through with new bushings etc. Also it has new rubber door, trunk, and window seals throughout the car. And new trim, bumpers, and rear package tray among many many new parts. This car cannot go anywhere without people straining there necks to check it out. I bought it in fresno from and older gentleman who was downsizing his collection. It came with lots of extra parts that will go to the winning bidder as well. If you would like to see it in person, or take it for a test drive, you are more then welcome. It is located in fresno, Ca. Also if you would like specific pictures of any particular area of this beautiful machine, I can get them to you as well. Sold as is. Thanks for looking. No reserve!

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
